If that is true - that it was pressure of being seen as an Uncle Tom sell-out would he go so far as to let himself be seen associated with a “person” like Louis Farrakhan? They looked like they were enjoying each others’ company down in Jamaica last week. Powell took numerous picture with Farrakhan... Even if Powell were “broken down” I don’t know how any self-respecting person could go to that much of an extreme simply in an attempt to make oneself appear “more black” or to appease those within his community who were pressuring him.
